you can't have it.

They have high point limits so they aren't giving the entire game away in beta.
It's kinda shit though. The three guns I want the most, the AUG-A3, M60 and AKS-74u are the first guns after the 100 Million block. Also, how are we supposed to test these guns if they are impossible to get?


I did see a few videos of a guy with all the Assault unlocks from the PS3 beta, I'll have to find out how he got them.
The unlocks didn't require as many points that is why

Had a great round today.

Armed the explosives at the first house on the right at the start of the round. Watched a few enemy approach, threw grenades and then an RPG into the building. The bomb went off, plus the nades and then the building collapsed with 5 of them inside. I killed one with a nade and the other 4 all with environmental deaths as I watched it fall down on top of them.

Since I've played a few FPS games on my PS3 now, I've actually come to prefer the compactness of the controller.

Interesting read this. Gotta say it's unusual to see an intelligent post on the EA forums.

If you're having doubts about the game based on the beta, might want to have a look at this:

http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/386951.page

I'm a fairly long time lurker on these forums and seeing all the uproar regarding the PC beta has made me want to point out a few things.

When the PC beta was announced, on the official battlefield blog, the following was posted:

"The Beta is happening for many reasons, like testing the infrastructure, hosting stability, and gameplay tuning (FOV, Weapon Balance, etc...) that no amount of internal testing could provide better than real world exposure. This means there will also be times of choppiness, lag, disconnects, CTDs or other issues a Beta version of any MP game would have."

Also:

"Advanced warning: there will be things updated in the final game, like a Server browser with more functions, optimizations, performance tweaks, and learning's from the Beta."

Also it was recently announced by one of the devs on twitter that prone is gone, and will not be included despite any amount of asking for it.

This means the following things:

If prone is important to you, and is a dealbreaker as far as the game is concerned- move on. It's certainly a valid point of view, and you are entitled to your opinion. However those of us who don't care, or even prefer the game without prone, are also entitled to ours, and are not 'n00bs' and 'idiots' as many of you suggest. In any case, there's nothing to be gained for anybody by debating it any more.

If you are cancelling your order because the BETA is laggy and the hit recognition is not to your satisfaction, and it takes too many bullets to kill someone, you are missing the point of this beta. The developers themselves indicated that lag would be a problem in the beta (as it is in the betas of almost all multiplayer games). The whole point of betas is to test the netcode in the real world networking infrastructure- if there is a single thing that will be greatly improved from beta to final product, I guarantee it will be the lag and hit detection. Whether the damage per bullet will be changed remains to be seen, but certainly the developers have said they are open to balance changes (they made some after the PS3 beta) and of course there is the hardcore mode as well.

Some people are complaining about graphics in the beta- keep in mind that developers have confirmed that the high texture setting is in fact a placebo- you are not looking at the best texture setting that will be available in the retail game. You do not know what the final game will look like.

Finally, performance problems. Optimizing performance and solving hardware conflicts is another one of the main purposes of every beta test. Don't expect miracles- if you are playing on your budget computer or laptop, I'm not going to pretend the game will suddenly be playable for you. However if you are playing a computer that you feel really should be powerful enough to run the game smoothly (keep in mind the game is massively strenuous on CPUs, for good reason, and that X360 and PS3 actually have excellent CPUs in terms of raw processing power), don't be so sure that the final retail product won't run significantly better. At least hold off judgment until we see a more mature beta build, for instance after MORE THAN FOUR WORK DAYS have passed since the release of the beta.

If you are quitting because "I played the beta of __________ and it was much more polished," well, that's nice, but nobody cares. Different studios have different comfort levels about beta testing different levels of code. This is not a demo. That it would have bugs and problems is not a surprise to anyone who knows what a beta is.

If you are quitting because "DICE will not change anything substantial in retail, they only have a month" then please, direct me the secret government lab where you acquired your clairvoyance. It must be a useful skill, though I'm not sure why you use it predicting the future of game development rather than say, lottery numbers, but that's your choice. As I detailed earlier, the expressed purpose of the beta (as stated by the developers) is to solve the problems 90% of the complaints on this board are about: Lag, performance, balance. If you are leaving because there is no prone, fine, I understand that, but it doesn't make you better than the people who disagree with you.

Obviously, this is a wall of text but I hope it may cause some of you to think twice before you make rash judgments about the bad company 2 beta.
i do also find it hilarious that people are complaining about the beta being too buggy or dice being too slow - exactly how fast do you want them to be? people gotta sleep, you know, it's not even been a week yet.

I don't get all the complaints. I've logged about 40 hrs. and the issues are minimal. The only main concerns I have would be regarding the server browser, but it has already been stated that it will be fixed for the final release. There have been a lot of complaints on lag, but I really have not experienced lag issues at all. The complaints on framerates is something i've noticed with some regularity while ingame, but hopefully there will be performance optimizations that will correct this. My frames seem fine, but I usually run it at low with a q6600@stock and a 5850 in direct10x.

One of the things that I find amusing is the constant comparison to MW2, and how that game runs much smoother. I have not played mw2, but last time I checked that game was not sporting entirely destructible maps(well 80%).

I am of the opinion that I'm just glad they have even put BC2 on PC, it will not be perfect and if its anything like BF2, that took a very long time to fix(some say they never did), but gave 1000+ hours of gaming anyway.

So what ever the outcome is, i will be happy with a new MP to play on my PC as i gave MW2 a large body swerve.

I think my KD is around .0004 or sumting. The lag is quite hefty so far. Hope it's gone in the final version or else I'm gonna have to go to the component store

The PC beta is an older build than e.g. the current Xbox demo.
There have already been several balance fixes for the consoles, but I have no idea which.

The lag is killing the PC version. PS3 demo came out today, even on wireless everything was very nice. But that's why there is a beta for the PC version. This is the first time they've done Frostbite on PC, the lag was quite bad on the first Frostbite game on consoles. I can only expect it to get better

They didn't nerf the weapons as much as I feared.

The map sucks though. Arica Harbour was way better (PS3 beta) than this gay Sarah Palin Alaska map... well it's not that bad, just not as good as Arica harbour. Smaller too.
